If you’ve been searching for a non-invasive way to reduce stubborn fat and achieve a slimmer, more contoured look, CoolSculpting may be the solution you’ve been waiting for. At Faulkner Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, Dr. Brent Faulkner offers CoolSculpting to help patients feel confident and comfortable in their skin without the need for surgery.
What Is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive fat reduction treatment designed to target and eliminate stubborn fat that resists diet and exercise. It uses a process called cryolipolysis, which freezes fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. Over time, the treated fat cells are naturally eliminated by your body, leaving behind a smoother, slimmer contour.
How Does CoolSculpting Work?
CoolSculpting uses the power of cold temperatures to reduce fat cells effectively. The process begins with a CoolSculpting applicator, which is carefully placed on the treatment area. This applicator delivers controlled cooling to freeze the fat cells beneath the skin, targeting the fat while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.
Once exposed to the cold temperatures, the fat cells crystallize, effectively destroying them. Over the next several weeks and months, the body’s natural lymphatic system processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells, gradually reducing the treated area's fat layer.
Since fat cells do not regenerate, CoolSculpting offers long-lasting results when paired with a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise can help preserve the sculpted contours achieved through this innovative treatment.
What to Expect During the Procedure
CoolSculpting is a quick and convenient treatment that fits easily into your schedule. Here’s what you can expect:
• Consultation with Dr. Faulkner: Before your treatment, Dr. Faulkner will assess your goals and create a personalized CoolSculpting plan to target your specific areas of concern.
• Comfortable Treatment: During the procedure, you’ll be seated or lying down while the CoolSculpting applicator is applied. You may feel intense cold at first, but this typically subsides as the area becomes numb.
• No Downtime: After your session, you can immediately return to your daily activities. Most sessions take between 2-3 hours, so plan accordingly.
Benefits of CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting offers numerous advantages, making it a popular choice for non-invasive fat reduction:
• No Surgery, No Scars: CoolSculpting is entirely non-invasive, so there’s no need for incisions, anesthesia, or lengthy recovery periods.
• Convenient: With sessions often lasting just 2-3 hours with no downtime required, CoolSculpting is ideal for those with busy lifestyles.
• Targeted Fat Reduction: CoolSculpting precisely targets specific problem areas, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, and under the chin.
• Natural-Looking Results: Because the fat cells are gradually eliminated, your results develop over time, creating a subtle, natural enhancement.
